indexing. In CRTAFPDTA, a process of matching reference points within a file and creating structured field tags within the MO:DCA document and the separate index object file.
indexing with data values. Adding indexing tags to a MO:DCA document using data that is already in the document and that is consistently located in the same place in each group of pages.
indexing with literal values. Adding indexing tags to a MO:DCA document by assigning literal values as indexing tags, because the document is not organized such that common data is located consistently throughout the document.
index object file. A file created by CRTAFPDTA that contains Index Element (IEL) structured fields, which identify the location of the tagged groups in the AFP file. The indexing tags are contained in the Tagged Logical Element (TLE) structured fields.
